You say "I did Washington" so causually I almost missed it. Congrats! That is so cool that we got Rainer in the list! TM would be very proud!PatsSox09 wrote:Check Bill's TM Highpoint tracking page. I did Washington about 3 weeks ago via Lion Head, planning on summitting the rest over the course of the summer.
High points for TM

Actually Mt. Washington is an achievement in itself - again congrates! I may get to give it a shot late this fall if weather permits.PatsSox09 wrote:thanks for the congrats jimlup, although you probably misunderstood, as I meant Washington as in Mt. Washington, not Rainier (definitely not ready for that one yet). Hopefully we'll see someone post a nice TR of it in the near future, along with Granite and Gannett.
Tomboh_6 did get Mt. Rainer! I checked the high points page but didn't cross check the user name While I'm not ready for Rainer, I've been studying the routes already, I assumed that "Lions Head" was a route I hadn't learned yet

Tennessee
6-20-07
My Dad and I climbed (for lack of a better word) Clingman's Dome, the highest point in Tennessee this morning.
I'll probably be able to do the trip report and photos early next week.
This Dew's for you TM.

You have to admit, the concrete mushroom deck on top is pretty cool. You could break a sweat--that is, if you sprint from the car to the top.
How were the views?

Yeah, it does look much higher It's just photo trickery. But don't fret, we got that one, too! > Montgomery Peak, a nearby 13er, just across the border in California. Interesting ridge.Aspen Summit wrote:Ummmm Aubrey......that point to the right of u look a tad higher

Will be in New York next week, not terribly far from Mt Marcy.
It's a classic catch-22 for me.
If my work goes well, then I will be unable to make it to Lake Placid. But I will get paid and that's a good thing.
If work goes not so well, then I will have the weekend off and will high point Mt. Marcy in honor of TM. His name will be in the register. And that is a great thing.
